What is an oscillating hoe?
The hoes we use are made in Switzerland by Glaser. What matters is that they are oscillating and fitted with a thin handle.
Choosing your hoes wisely
The hoes we use are made in Switzerland by Glaser, but you can find other similar brands. What matters is that they are oscillating.
It is also essential to fit them with a very thin handle to make them as light as possible.
The oscillating hoe: what is it exactly?
Weeding with these hoes is nothing like the hoeing our grandparents used to do with a draw hoe. It is far more subtle and precise. We use this tool on young seedlings, at the cotyledon stage. It is therefore a light, ergonomic technique that requires much less effort.
